LONG OVERDUE CHRISTMAS PICTURES, part one

aubrey opens her new hawkeye cheerleading outfit that i made.....(more picture coming soon in another post!)

mom and dad each get to open a few gifts!

aubrey opens more gifts and stops to smile for the camera!

we opened our gifts for each other on christmas eve. daddy had to work on christmas day so we knew we would have very little time in the morning on christmas to spend unwrapping......

aubrey and i spent the day playing with new games and doll clothes....i also finished up some sewing i had started for aubrey that i just couldn't quite get done before christmas.

christmas was more relaxed this year. we couldn't leave town because chuck was working and on call all week. so we stayed around the house and just took it easy. we also make the decision early on that we wouldn't be getting aubrey so much this year. last year it seemed that she got bored before she was done with all the presents.....we just thought that there was no better time then now to set the tone for years to come....while she was still young and didn't know the difference.
